Associate Editor Paul Gray, who wrote the cover story from Hillenbrand's reports and those of Reporter-Researcher Rosemarie Tauris Zadikov, was also impressed by Kirkland's candor and forthright approach when they met for an interview in her teacher's studio. A recent convert to the world of dance, Gray confessed he had indulged in a few Walter Mitty fantasies of joining her onstage. With that, she reached down and pulled off his left shoe. "Good extension," she judged as she tugged at Gray's foot while the nonplused writer tried to stretch...
...possible to approach the subject of the Holocaust with all kinds of metaphysical pretensions. The producers of Holocaust, knowing their medium, audience and tremendous potential for popular influence, avoided the deep mystifications that attend most theories about the aesthetics of atrocity.

...This approach bothered several members of the cast, who described the evening as "excruciating." He simply said to the people he didn't cast, 'I won't be needing you,' which is a lot tougher to take than not seeing your name on a list," Amy Aquino '79, who plays a leading role in the production says, adding, "I felt bad about it for a while." Unlike most Harvard productions, where auditions are individual and private, Havergal chose to let everyone perform in front of everyone else. "It was in a lit house where everybody wanted you to fail because...
